ObjectivesAfter attending this talk, learners will be able to...1. Understand the importance of developing a

conceptual and/or theoretical framework to guide collaboration.

2. Apply principles of persuasion to enhance collaboration development.

3. Identify measurable policy, research and practice outcomes that benefit collaborators from all sides.

Why Mexico, Hispanics or Latinos and Physical Activity?

• Highly influential country on US health, economy, social and political context

• Technological leapfrogging• Emerging interest in developing scientific

capacity• Already implementing policies, practice and

programming with limited evidence• Physical activity rates are low, and may be

decreasing, particularly in children

Page 7: Developing multinational collaborations to promote ... Scientific...Author,&Reversing)the)Obesogenic)Environment(Human&Kinetics,& 2011) Fellow,&Society&of&Behavioral&Medicine Acknowledgements

Multinational Collaboration to Increase Physical Activity in Hispanics

Aims1. Develop a diverse

scientific partnership2. Develop a collaborative

scientific research agenda3. Disseminate findings to

the science and community

Funding Opportunity• Strategy to develop

multidisciplinaryscientific partnerships

• Funded by NCI (1R13CA162816)

• 2 years• Meetings…

Aim 1: Develop a diverse partnership

• Very successful for American researchers

• Good representation of disciplines, gender, ethnicity, language

• Engineering, demography, geography, kinesiology, physiology, medicine, psychology, and public health

• Affiliations with practice, policy

• Included trainees

Page 9: Developing multinational collaborations to promote ... Scientific...Author,&Reversing)the)Obesogenic)Environment(Human&Kinetics,& 2011) Fellow,&Society&of&Behavioral&Medicine Acknowledgements

Aim 2: Develop a collaborative scientific research agenda (continued)

• Theoretically grounded to address ecologic perspective (Spence & Lee 2003: Toward a comprehensive model of physical activity.)

• Developed workgroups focused on identifying gaps in the science– RE-AIM review of the internal validity of physical

activity interventions in Hispanics– Measurement of physical activity in Hispanics– RE-AIM evaluation of physical activity public programs

in Mexico• Frequent meetings

Aim 3: Disseminate findings to the science and community

• Publications in peer reviewed journals• Conference presentations• Presentation to government agencies

– Presentation to Jalisco Secretaría de salud y educación

– Reports to funding agencies• Community conferences• Media interviews/talk shows• Trainees

Page 12: Developing multinational collaborations to promote ... Scientific...Author,&Reversing)the)Obesogenic)Environment(Human&Kinetics,& 2011) Fellow,&Society&of&Behavioral&Medicine Acknowledgements

• Spanish had more reporting of reach; English more efficacy/effectiveness

• Little information about representativeness, intervention delivery or long term outcomes

• Low confidence in PA measurement--few studies reporting indicators needed to assess quality of measurement

• Little understanding of the efficacy or impact of existing programming.

Lack of available evidence to support physical activity-related policy and programming in Hispanics or Latinos in the Americas.

Successes and Lessons Learned Need an inspiring pic

• people• hanging out • money• flexibility• funding partnerships (bi-

country/private/public)• time and timing

Lessons and Challenges

Page 17: Developing multinational collaborations to promote ... Scientific...Author,&Reversing)the)Obesogenic)Environment(Human&Kinetics,& 2011) Fellow,&Society&of&Behavioral&Medicine Acknowledgements

Collaboration Challenges

• Conceptual, design, methodological• Theoretical, conceptual framework (guides

a systematic process and methodology)• Relevant measures and available data

(depends on whom you know)• Clear goal and resulting research questions

(helps focus on measurable outcomes)

Page 18: Developing multinational collaborations to promote ... Scientific...Author,&Reversing)the)Obesogenic)Environment(Human&Kinetics,& 2011) Fellow,&Society&of&Behavioral&Medicine Acknowledgements

Lesson #1. You’re not in Kansas anymoreMexico• Spanish/Latin American• Family oriented• Strongly faith-based

• Patriarchal • Fluidity time

• Technology/infrastructure inconsistent

• Politics and power

Canada/USA• English/Anglo American• Individualistic• Religious pluralism

• Egalitarian• Structured time

• Technology/infrastructure expected

• Politics and balanced power

Page 19: Developing multinational collaborations to promote ... Scientific...Author,&Reversing)the)Obesogenic)Environment(Human&Kinetics,& 2011) Fellow,&Society&of&Behavioral&Medicine Acknowledgements

Lesson #2. Walk the walk; talk the talkWe  all  have  the  same  basic  human  needs:  shelter,  food,  comfort  of  friends  and  family…  the  manifest  solutions  to  these  needs  differ  based  on  the  context  in  which  we  live.  

Page 20: Developing multinational collaborations to promote ... Scientific...Author,&Reversing)the)Obesogenic)Environment(Human&Kinetics,& 2011) Fellow,&Society&of&Behavioral&Medicine Acknowledgements

Lesson #3. You have to go and… “hang out,” a lot

Page 21: Developing multinational collaborations to promote ... Scientific...Author,&Reversing)the)Obesogenic)Environment(Human&Kinetics,& 2011) Fellow,&Society&of&Behavioral&Medicine Acknowledgements

Lesson #4: You have to have a solid strategy of generating contacts and allies and

building lasting collaborations• Reciprocity – Simple acts of

kindness, personalized and unexpected

• Consistency – Behave consistently with values, public commitment

• Consensus – Social proof• Authority – Respect for credible

and knowledgeable experts • Similarity – Like me. Commonalities,

and compliments• Scarcity – We want more of what

we can’t have. Unique and rare Cialdini R. Six Principles of Persuasion.

Page 22: Developing multinational collaborations to promote ... Scientific...Author,&Reversing)the)Obesogenic)Environment(Human&Kinetics,& 2011) Fellow,&Society&of&Behavioral&Medicine Acknowledgements

Lesson #5. Develop shared goals

• Develop shared goals with diverse range of stakeholders

• Adds “buy in” and prevents “social loafing”• Inspires cooperation and competition• Every member of a shared goal group has to

do her or his part to achieve the goals of the collaboration, increasing energy, productivity and rapidity

Page 23: Developing multinational collaborations to promote ... Scientific...Author,&Reversing)the)Obesogenic)Environment(Human&Kinetics,& 2011) Fellow,&Society&of&Behavioral&Medicine Acknowledgements

Lesson #6. Money makes everyone happy

• Funding• Funding• Funding• Funding• Funding• Funding• Funding

• Respond to requests for information about funding priorities

• When funding opportunities arise– Be nimble and agile– Be opportunistic – Be aggressive and persistent

• Smile a lot J

Page 24: Developing multinational collaborations to promote ... Scientific...Author,&Reversing)the)Obesogenic)Environment(Human&Kinetics,& 2011) Fellow,&Society&of&Behavioral&Medicine Acknowledgements

Lesson #7. Have a back up plan• Things change…

– Policy priorities– Collaborators– Resources

Page 25: Developing multinational collaborations to promote ... Scientific...Author,&Reversing)the)Obesogenic)Environment(Human&Kinetics,& 2011) Fellow,&Society&of&Behavioral&Medicine Acknowledgements

Conclusions

• Have courage and be persistent• Treat collaborators as treasures• Meet as many people as possible• Apply kindness toward self and others• Plan ahead for all possibilities• Cast a wide range of outcomes• Mind the capacity
